ClarissaI kept staring at Dacre’s retreating figure as I felt the heat bubbling inside me from head to toe. I had managed to irk him and he had kissed me hard, leaving me senseless and breathless.Goddess.If it had been a punishment it didn’t feel like one.He had been clearly annoyed by the fact that I was not bothered and his frustration had released his inner demon.And I had gained what I wanted.A filthy hot make out session and the frustration in his eyes.If he thought he had won, he was delusional. I had gotten under his skin.He walked away from me, and got into the car and I saw his tense shoulders and the way he stormed away.I could still feel his lips on mine and my boobs were hurting like hell. It was good that he had dragged me into the forest or I would have never been able to leave had it been a mall or some crowded place.I tried to put on my bra and blouse as gingerly as possible but my breasts were on fire. After the sensation of his hands touching me and roamin

ClarissaI had to give a standing ovation to my sister to be so enthusiastic about shopping. She had just spent an entire day on that and she was drop dead exhausted but she was more than ready to drag me out again.“How can you be so excited about clothes?” I asked as she shoved a pair of jeans and a black colored blouse in my hand.“How can you be so excited about the mission?” She shot back and I only rolled my eyes.My hair had almost dried so she turned around and headed to the washroom. “I’ll quickly change, you do it too”Talia ordered and she went to wash her face again and apply make-up on her face before changing into fresh clothes again.We were ready to leave and she stated, “I visited a few stores at the mall and a lady there told me of a boutique that had a new collection. I’ve already ransacked the stores so there is nothing left there. Let us go to the boutique”She said and I nodded my head.It was not as if I knew where to buy fashionable clothes myself.We climbed

DacreI said but I noticed the way Clarissa exhaled softly as anticipation began building in her body.“Thank you, Sir. I will take your leave”I said and turned around but his father called to me, “Wait a second. Since you are here, consider this as a formal invitation to attend the girl’s birthday party on the coming Saturday. Extend the invitation to your father and the rest of the pack as well.”I bowed to him.“I will, Alpha”Dad put down the tome he had been reading and mused, “It has been long since I met your father. I’ve mostly traveled in the other regions for pack treaties. But, now that I recall, our treaty with the south seems to be nearing an expiry.”Dacre held his hands together and replied, “I shall communicate that to father as well.”“See you then”Her father said and burrowed his head back in the file again.This time, thankfully our conversation had been much better. Might be because Alpha Hayden was in a mood to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.Giving Clarissa

DacreThe assassin had disappeared to Goddess knew where. I only scratched my head in confusion. Why would someone attack me, then warn me, then fight and run away?Was he even fighting or simply pretending to fight? And hadn’t he been too lean for an assassin?He could have just slinked through the bushes and run away or like a smartass hid behind a boulder or a shrub and observed me even now.I didn’t know. I could comb through the area but it was not worth the time or effort.Thus, I turned around and walked towards my car. It was stuck in the bushes so with some effort I pulled it back to the road.Thankfully, there was no human around or I would have had to do the act of calling a towing service guy and wasting my time when I could move the vehicle myself.I surveyed the damage and saw that apart from the dent on the side where the attacker had rammed in and a few more dents on the roof when the branches had fallen down, the car was relatively okay.I simply sat back in my seat a

DacreThe door to the room closed, leaving us three standing awkwardly outside it. “Just what did she say?”Silas pulled me a bit farther away as Cynthia noticed it and glared at him. She then strode further away, not wanting to associate with us.That was better for us either way.“I asked her and all she said was shallow”Silas raised an eyebrow, “You mean the shadow assassins?”I hit my forehead for not realizing the obvious. “Yeah, you should hit yourself more. You are growing an idiot day by day”I rolled my eyes and saw that Cynthia was pretending to not listen to us, but her ears were straining to eavesdrop on us.“So, they are just attacking council members and killing demon worshippers too. But why?”“That is what we have to find,” I said as I clenched my fist.Let’s leave. We have to go somewhere.I said as I dragged him away from the hospital room. I made a mental note to meet Mrs. Bryant and check on her health again.She was a kind soul and I did not want her ill or dead
